Lumineers are one of those fabulous creations in the city of Leeds designed to be a quick fix for any problems such as gaps between the teeth, cracks and general wear and tear to the teeth. The are a direct descendant of more common porcelain veneers and made from a specially patented material from the US. What makes these different though is that they are extremely thin in veneer terms and there is a reason for that. Normal veneers require the enamel of the teeth to be removed before fitting- these don’t. The teeth are simply cleaned and then a putty impression is taken from which the fittings can be manufactured. This normally takes a couple of weeks, but once done, they are stuck into position with a cement and then cured with a heat source. They do have their flaws though. Being so thin they can break easily and if they do, they cannot be restored: but this is undermining the point behind Lumineers. They are designed with a quick fix, disposable world in mind and to get your smile up to speed quickly, to get you out of a pickle and into a special occasion, and afterwards, the real ‘plus’ of this treatment is that it can be reversed once the Lumineers have run their course.
